The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of the two people who were found deceased in a residence in Anglemont on April 30.
Tracy Nichol, aged 45, and Christian Robert Tallick, aged 15, both residing in Anglemont were found dead in what police determined to be a murder-suicide.
The cause of death was not released by officials. Police have also not indicated which person was determined to be the murder victim.
The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate these deaths. Despite indicating the deaths of a 45-year-old woman and 15-year-old boy were initially being investigated as murder, RCMP later confirmed the situation was a murder-suicide.
“RCMP have confirmed that this tragic event was a murder-suicide,” stated Cst. Lesley Smith, north district media relations officer. “The crime scene posed a number of challenges for members and after a lengthy investigation, with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identification Unit, police were able to confirm this unfortunate outcome.”
The families of both deceased persons have been notified of the deaths.
The residence where they were found is located on Greenwich Close Road in Anglemont in the North Shuswap.
